Modus Operandi

My art is influenced by my profession where I work with people who have 
experienced severe trauma. Lee Karsner expressed perfectly how I feel 
about my work so I will borrow her words.  She said “I consider that the 
whole body of my work is concerned with the realization of a totality of 
being, with the fusion of inner and outer reality, and in that sense, it is, 
of course, involved with the spiritual”. 

I approach my work intuitively, seeking to express a representation and 
engagement with feeling that teases the viewer to move back and forth 
between their own experience and the images given. In this way I hope 
that the cult of ‘otherness’ is dismissed and we join through the work, 
each contributing equally to its meaning.
